Northern Territory Police are currently investigating a fatal crash in Braitling that brings the Territory road toll to four.

Detective Sergeant Mick Schumacher of the Major Crash Investigation Unit said Police received a report a vehicle had crashed into a yard on Ludgate Street at around 5:00 am today.

“Initial investigations indicate the Holden Colarado 4x4 twin cab was travelling south along Campbell Street when the driver lost control of the vehicle and collided with a tree outside the residence on the corner with Ludgate Street,” said Detective Sergeant Schumacher.

“A 37-year-old male driver has died as a result of the crash.

“Indications are that the man may not have been wearing a seatbelt and at this early stage it is not known whether speed or alcohol were contributing factors into the crash. Investigations are continuing.”
